The outboard engines were added today and then faired in,then a coat of primer to pull things together and see how she looks.

The tiny oil coolers were fabricated and attached to the top and bottom of the engines,then a four bladed propeller a remnant from the good old days of when solid model accessories were available was attached to one engine nacelle,all that I need to do is reproduce three more four bladers.
A bit more blemish filling and a cockpit was made up and has since been faired into the shape of the fuselage since these pictures were taken.
The stand was made up from scrap and the 'V' channel is a piece of steel to act as a cradle for the lower fuselage rather than drill any holes in that precious keel,I thought that it would be ideal for displaying the model.
